The document compares the costs and benefits of renting a Murray apartment versus buying a Murray condominium over a three year period. Renting the apartment would cost $33,264 in rent, while buying the condo would cost $27,360 in monthly payments plus $6,516 in HOA fees, but would build $15,000-$21,000 in equity over the three years. The document encourages renters to buy instead of continuing to pay rent in order to start building personal wealth.
